  • Auschwitz

    As a writer on ministry on Jewish issues and Israel, a qualified tour guide to the Holy Land with InnerFaith Travel and as the Australian cricket chaplain of 17 years, I was invited to Poland for this 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in 2005.

  • The track

    As the Footplate Padre in 2009 I was guest of the late Dave Moyle in Wahgunyah in rural Victoria and took a photograph on a straight section of railway track and has been reflecting on it ever since.

  • The Rex Dale Story

    My life began in a country town in Western Australia. My family attended a Baptist Church. It was every Sunday because my father was a very disciplined person and for him church attendance was an important part of the rhythm of life.

  • The Christian’s own family

    We all know that children have a tendency to rebel against their parents. Teenagers tend to think they know the answers to everything, ignoring the good advice of those around them.

  • Australian non-conformity  -  massive

    In the eyes of the mainstream journalists, Anglicans and Roman Catholics appear to be the only Christian people in Australia, and for some time. With Prime Minister Scott Morrison an unashamed Pentecostal that now too gets some broadcast air.

  • Australian young writers to ‘Stand Alone’ in 2020

    The Press Service International program in conjunction with Christian Today saw the Kiwi young writers ‘Stand Alone’ in January this year and the International young writers likewise ‘Stand Alone’ in August.

  • A railway Christmas treat

    My Footplate Padre book, the fourth of sixteen railway books, 'From the Driver's Seat', contains 14 railway journeys written from the viewpoint of actually driving the train.

  • ARPA Gold Awards by the Judges – Part 3  

    The Australasian Religious Press Association (ARPA) at their annual conference releases the judges awards and comments in the professional booklet. This year in Christchurch last month was no different.

  • Holidays

    How might we reflect "carefully" on how we intend to spend our 'holidays' this year. I understand that readers from different cultures use words such as 'holiday', 'vacation' and 'recreation leave' in various ways.

  • Hand crafted gifts

    Mid October is time to be preparing for Christmas. To explain for readers who may be in the Northern hemisphere, in Australia, families and Christmas are 'top of the list' at Christmas because it is also the beginning of summer holidays and the end of the academic year.
